Symmetry/Asymmetry in Thermal Management

Dear Colleagues,

The escalating demands for thermal management technologies, driven by their indispensable role in various sectors, have led to significant environmental concerns, primarily due to the extensive consumption of electricity and water resources. Consequently, various symmetric/asymmetric technologies are being proposed to improve thermal management performances, addressing the consequential environmental challenges.

We are seeking cutting-edge research that addresses the pressing challenges in thermal management. Your work has the potential to make a significant impact, whether through novel passive cooling techniques that leverage advanced materials and designs, innovative active cooling solutions that enhance heat transfer efficiency by symmetric/asymmetric flow, or breakthroughs in predictive modeling and simulation approaches.

Our focus is on the cutting-edge methodologies, materials, symmetric/asymmetric designs, and technologies driving the future of thermal management across various sectors, including electronics, aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy systems.

We eagerly anticipate your submissions and the opportunity to highlight your pioneering research. Together, let us shape the future of thermal management, fostering a more efficient, sustainable, and technologically advanced world.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
